A statistical analysis was made of data concerning diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy in the upper respiratory tract in 292 patients. A study was made of: skin test, total and specific IgE (RAST), X-sinus, red blood investigation, and cytology of nasal smear. It appears that screening for the presence of an IgE-mediated allergy in the upper respiratory tract can be performed efficiently with a limited number of skin tests (rye grass, timothy, birch, house dust mite and cat). In this study a greater number of skin tests (15 instead of 5) yielded little additional information (in 2% of the patients). A rather poor correlation between skin test and RAST was found.
对292例上呼吸道IgE介导过敏诊断的数据进行了统计分析。研究内容包括：皮肤试验、总IgE和特异性IgE（放射变应原吸附试验）、鼻窦X光检查、血常规检查以及鼻涂片细胞学检查。结果显示，通过有限数量的皮肤试验（黑麦草、梯牧草、桦树、屋尘螨和猫）就能有效地筛查上呼吸道是否存在IgE介导的过敏。在本研究中，更多数量的皮肤试验（15种而非5种）仅产生了少量额外信息（2%的患者）。还发现皮肤试验与放射变应原吸附试验之间的相关性较差。
